Businesses are increasingly adopting user-centered approaches to create experiences, moving UX design to be one of the core activities driving the company strategy and operations.
This is an incredibly valuable opportunity that we designers can take to step up and contribute to create the great experiences and services they envision, taking our vision, tools and understanding to a different level. But we need to learn the new skills to play at this table, a table that's often speaking a different language with a lot of politics and different stakeholders.

This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It begins with an introduction of the presenter and outlines some general and corporate uses of PowerPoint. It then discusses the importance of having a clear purpose, understanding your audience, and preparing for your presentation. The bulk of the document focuses on five tips: look for quality in fonts, images and design; keep things simple with limited text and clear visuals; use visuals wisely; hold some information back rather than putting everything on slides; and prepare thoroughly instead of just winging it. Examples of good, bad and ugly PowerPoint slides are also briefly presented.
This is the first SlideShare adaption of Timothy E. Johansson's 100 Growth Hacks in 100 Days. The growth hacks that's included in the slide are 1 to 10. Timothy is the front-end developer at UserApp (www.userapp.io).
Dispatches From The New Economy: The Five Faces Of The On-Demand EconomyIntuit Inc.
From people determined to be their own boss, to those embracing the flexibility to do something they love, to workers finding a replacement for a traditional job – people working in the on-demand economy are just about as diverse as the labor market itself. A new report from Intuit Inc. and Emergent Research shows that there are a broad range of motivations – and differing levels of satisfaction – among five distinct groups of on-demand workers:
The Business Builders – primarily driven by the desire to be their own boss. They represent 22 percent of on-demand workers.
The Career Freelancers – happily building a career through independent work. They represent 20 percent of on-demand workers.
The Side Giggers – looking to find financial stability by supplementing existing income. They represent 26 percent of on-demand workers.
The Passionistas – looking for the flexibility to do something they love. They represent 18 percent of on-demand workers.
The Substituters – replacing a traditional job that is no longer available. They represent 14 percent of on-demand workers.
Methodology
A total of 4,622 workers who find work opportunities via the platforms provided by the participating partner companies completed an online survey between September 11 and October 1, 2015. The results were weighted to reflect the proportion of workers in each of the following segments: Drivers/Delivery, Online Talent Marketplaces and Field Service/Onsite Talent. The weights were developed using earlier survey work that sized the on-demand economy. The largest weighted share of on-demand worker respondents from any single company is 16%, with most partner companies providing less than 10% of the respondents.
Productivity Facts Every Employee Should KnowRobert Half
Tuesday is consistently found to be the most productive day of the week for employees according to multiple surveys of HR managers and executives over several decades. Employees are generally least productive between 4-6pm and the week before a major holiday. Taking vacations can boost productivity as employees tend to be more productive after a vacation when returning well-rested and recharged.

To survive as a company, the organization needs to become a shapeshifter: sometimes hierarchical, sometimes networked; sometimes efficient, sometimes effective; sometimes great at execution, and other times great at innovation. You can only achieve this by motivating people to change continuously. To achieve this, we take a closer look at gamification and habit-forming. Because games and habits are the keys to intrinsic motivation and change. And you need those in your company to become a great shapeshifter!

This document summarizes several factors that can lead to interpersonal attraction according to social psychology research: physical appearance/beauty, personality, proximity, and similarity. Studies discussed found that people tend to see attractive, beautiful people as more desirable and competent. Additionally, having a warm, kind, or exciting personality is attractive to others. Proximity, or spending time near others, increases comfort levels and likelihood of attraction. Similarity in characteristics and interests between people also reduces conflicts. Reciprocated liking and gaining the approval of someone who was initially unimpressed can be especially rewarding.

Facts are an important element of any decision-making process. A fact asserts that something is the case. When we as a society make decisions that affect our future, facts, and conversation or argument about what they mean, is a critical part of those decisions.
But what is a fact, and how do we know that something is a fact? Is there a "keeper of the facts?"
This little thread is an exploration of facts: What they are, how they come to be, who has access to them and why. It's especially focused on the facts that make up the sum of our scientific knowledge.
If you enjoy this series you might also enjoy the thread where this conversation and inquiry began.

Iambic pentameter is a poetic meter used in Shakespearean sonnets. It consists of lines containing five iambic feet, with each foot having one unstressed syllable followed by one stressed syllable. A Shakespearean sonnet follows a specific rhyme scheme, including three quatrains (four line sections) followed by a heroic couplet, with the rhyming pattern abab, cdcd, efef, gg. The meter and rhyming patterns give structure and rhythm to the poem.

This powerpoint illustrates my view on how technology is affecting individuals, and how changes need to be made in the education system to keep up with our rapidly advancing innovations and use them to the advantage of the teachers and students.
The document discusses how technology has changed human behavior and development. It explores how increased technology usage has impacted childhood development, causing issues like reduced physical activity and increased psychological/behavioral disorders. However, more research is still needed to understand the relationships between technology and these impacts. The document also examines how constant connectivity through technology can reduce social skills and "social capital" by limiting meaningful interactions and connections with others.
The document discusses how the rise of social media and online communication has impacted individuals and society. It notes that Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook, which now has nearly 600 million users. Additionally, it explores how social media allows constant communication but may be contributing to narcissism, insecurity, and a lack of empathy in users. Young people especially are increasingly seeking validation online rather than focusing on meaningful relationships. This "digital self" prioritizes approval and selective image curation over face-to-face interactions, potentially separating people despite connecting them.
The document discusses how the rise of social media and constant online connectivity has impacted individuals and society. It notes that Facebook has nearly 600 million users, showing how social connections are developing rapidly through technology. However, this constant online presence may be contributing to narcissism, insecurity, and a lack of empathy in people. Young people especially are constantly seeking validation through online feedback and prioritizing the quantity of friends over quality relationships. This growing digital self raises concerns about how technology is changing human nature and interactions.
The document discusses how people are developing "digital brains" and habits of constant connectivity due to extensive social media and smartphone use. This can negatively impact people's ability to engage in deep reading and focus on single tasks. However, moderate social media use can also have benefits like boosting mood. The document examines concepts like "nomophobia" (fear of being without one's phone) and debates around whether constant connectivity is helpful or detrimental to relationships and well-being.
Dyer the benefits and consequences of growing up in a digital world rvsdmdyer15
This document discusses the benefits and consequences of growing up in a digital world. It notes that Generation Z has never known a world without smartphones, tablets, or Google. While this generation is tech savvy and able to multitask, there are concerns about how constant technology use can negatively impact brain development, attention spans, the ability to focus, and form meaningful relationships. The document explores issues like addiction to distraction, constant connectivity replacing real-life interactions, and oversharing of private information online. It argues that interventions are needed to help digital natives harness technology's benefits while mitigating its risks.
The document discusses the effects of social media and excessive technology use on youth. It notes that while the minimum age for social media accounts is 13, many children under 13 are using social media. Excessive social media use can result in lack of social skills, deteriorating family relationships, internet addiction causing sleep deprivation and academic problems, and susceptibility to issues like cyberbullying, sexting, and "Facebook depression." The document examines ongoing research on these impacts and perspectives from parents, teachers and students on youth technology use.
The document discusses how emerging technologies can negatively impact relationships by allowing people to hide from each other and avoid real interactions. It argues that while technology provides benefits, overreliance on technology for communication weakens interpersonal connections. The document advocates using technology like video conferencing to supplement but not replace in-person interactions, which are needed to build trust and understand nonverbal cues. It encourages being fully present with others rather than distracted by devices, and connecting with people locally rather than staring at screens.
1) Young children are rarely seen playing outdoors or engaging in physical activity as they are increasingly engrossed in technology like phones, tablets, and social media.
2) While technology allows for quicker access to information, it can have negative effects on children by reducing social skills, empathy, and deeper intellectual understanding in favor of oversimplified information gathering.
3) Society has become increasingly shallow and narcissistic as people's self-worth is measured by likes on social media and life's purpose is dependent on technology's advancement, which risks societal downfall if taken to an extreme.
The document discusses the detrimental effects of excessive computer and internet use in educational settings. It summarizes research showing that visual media like computers and the internet impair verbal skills, reflection, focus, and imagination. Studies found students who accessed the internet during class performed worse on tests compared to students without internet access. Excessive screen time also reduces reading for pleasure, hindering skills like vocabulary and critical thinking. While technology has its place, a balanced approach to media consumption is needed in schools to develop various skills. The document concludes we must limit computer and internet use, especially in educational settings, to avoid negative impacts on youth development.
The document discusses best practices for using social media in business, highlighting that social networking has always been about building relationships and social media provides new tools to engage customers and potential customers. It emphasizes interacting with others on social media as you would offline to build public relationships, turn strangers into friends and friends into customers. The document concludes with a hands-on demonstration and Q&A around using platforms like Facebook and Twitter to warm up leads, give a face to your business, and build relationships and networks.
Nurturing Lifelong Learning with Personal Learning NetworksBuffy Hamilton
A personal learning network (PLN) allows individuals to continually learn through an organic collection of online and offline resources. A PLN helps construct knowledge in a collaborative way through participation in social networks, professional organizations, and online communication tools. Building a PLN requires exploring diverse perspectives, engaging with others, and sharing ideas. Participation in a PLN supports lifelong learning through foundational frameworks like participatory and connected learning.
Personal and social media have become integrated into people's lives and shaped how they interact and participate. The main difference between traditional and personal/social media is digitization. Some controversies around these technologies include whether they encourage superficial thinking, affect social relations, and truly increase productivity. Guidelines for use include consciously managing information flow to avoid overload.
The document discusses various privacy issues related to smartphone use among teenagers. It notes that 78% of people ages 12-17 have cellphones, with nearly half being smartphones. It discusses how many teenagers are "cell-mostly" internet users and dependent on having their phones with them at all times. The document raises questions about how parents can monitor what their children are accessing on their phones and how they are truly using them. It examines privacy threats in smartphone apps and concerns about technologies like Snapchat, Twitter, and Google Glass that could compromise users' privacy.
The document discusses how educators are adapting to new technologies and social media. It summarizes views from several experts on topics like the filter bubble, social networking, and gaming. Educators need skills to engage authentically with students who are "digital natives" and support the intellectual, creative, social, and ethical use of technologies. While technology is neither good nor bad, institutions still have a role in ensuring educational quality, evidence-based practices, and responses to issues with social media and students' online behaviors.
Young children are spending increasing amounts of time using digital technology, even from a very early age. While technology can make learning fun, experts are concerned about the impact on children's development, which requires human connection, movement, touch and exposure to nature. Extensive use of technology can negatively impact neurological development and be linked to issues like obesity, difficulty paying attention, problems making real-world friends, and decreased imagination. Experts recommend limiting screen time for children.
Finding an Escape from the Digital World - It's Importance & Why You Should T...Thomas Wall
The document discusses the importance of taking breaks from the digital world and excessive technology use. It notes that the average American spends 8 hours per day staring at screens. Excessive technology use is linked to loneliness, low moods, and loss of real-life friends. While technology has benefits, finding a proper balance is important. The document provides strategies for limiting technology overuse like using social media to facilitate real-life interactions rather than replace them. There are also benefits to escaping the digital world such as increased energy, happiness, productivity, meaningful social connections, and physical health. Ultimately, balancing technology usage reaps important rewards.
The Myth of the Digital Native: Why Generational Stereotyping Won’t Improve S...Fred Mindlin
This document summarizes and critiques the concept of "digital natives" put forward by Marc Prensky. It argues that while today's students are adept digital consumers, mastery requires a deeper understanding and critical thinking skills to evaluate online information. Simply using technology does not make one an expert. Students need guidance to develop skills like judgment, evaluating sources, and understanding context. Technology integration should allow for student creativity and not just consumption. Overall generational stereotypes do not reflect the diversity of skills among students and all can benefit from developing critical digital literacy.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

available –
perfect for a quick escape
from the real world or to

The question is:
Has easy access to such an abundance of information
truley helped us to become better multitaskers?
5. Many are
answering
with a
resounding
No!
Digital natives
in particular
may think
they’re
excellent
multitaskers . . .

6. *“Tangled in an Endless Web of Distractions,” Boston Globe
But a study conducted by Stanford
University reveals that media
multitaskers “are not good at
switching tasks or ignoring irrelevant
information.” *
Instead, they’re just more easily
distracted from their goals. Image: americanvirus, Flickr.
7. Not all of our distractions are created equal. We engage more with
certain devices or content than we do with others.
Understanding our own level of investment in different digital
situations may help us cut out key distractions while working.

8. The
hierarchy
of digital distractions
represents which interruptions
we find most disruptive to our lives.

9. Those that rank highest on
the pyramid are the most distracting.
Distractions which
rank lower are much
easier to ignore and will
quickly lose our attention
when something more
important occurs.

10. So what ranks in at
number one?

11. Image: vickirainwater, Flickr.
Experiencing
device failure
is the biggest distraction.
It can cause us severe
digital pain.

13. Romantic e-mails,
text messages and tweets
come next on the hierarchy.
They capture our attention
since they’re a form of contact
with others and can make us
feel appreciated.

14. Regular, personal
e-mails, online
dating messages,
voicemails and
Skype calls all fall
in the middle ground
of distraction.
Calls on a landline are also on
par with these types of
interruptions which – while not the
most exciting parts of our day – still

15. Less immediate forms of contact, such as messages on Skype,
Twitter and Facebook, have an even lower impact on us.
Image: bia * alvarez, Flickr.
16. Image: David Klein, Flickr.
If you use LinkedIn or
MySpace, you’ll find
updates from these social
media sites a relatively
minor distraction.
Also near the bottom are
Facebook invites and
friend requests, which
are thought to receive
mere automatic or
reflex responses.

Last and therefore least in
the hierarchy is any type of
actual work.
Does this theory support the idea that constant connectivity is
hurting our performance at school and in the workplace?

a specific task is already a useful skill which will only
become increasingly important as time goes on.
